库克船长远航南太平洋250年后，大洋洲艺术以其历史积淀与当代创新交织出绚烂多元的图景。

 

从拉帕努伊的遥远海岸到巴布亚新几内亚的茂密雨林，太平洋岛屿孕育着地球上最具文化多样性的族群。这片土地蕴藏着非凡的艺术形态——从精美的贝壳饰物到彩绘独木舟与集会厅堂的恢弘装饰。自1768年库克船长首次探险航程启幕至今二百五十载，这些艺术便持续吸引着外界目光，更曾令高更与众多欧洲艺术家为之倾倒。

 

本书伴随一场于伦敦与巴黎举办的大洋洲艺术大型展览问世，汇集该领域顶尖学者的最新研究成果，呈现涵盖整个地区的炫目艺术珍品，其中多数作品属首次出版。曾被历史忽视的彩绘纺织物、繁复的藤编器皿、极具表现力的雕刻容器等传世之作，与当代大洋洲艺术家的创作共展风采。这些兼具极致美学价值的艺术品，实为社会脉络、神话传说与历史传承交织而成的瑰宝。

 

250 years after Cook's voyage to the South Pacific, the dazzling and diverse art of Oceania, from the historic to the contemporary.

 

From the remote shores of Rapa Nui to the dense rainforest of Papua New Guinea, the islands of the Pacific are home to some of the most culturally diverse populations on the planet. The region embraces an extraordinary range of art forms, from delicate shell ornaments to spectacularly decorated canoes and meeting houses. These have fascinated outsiders since the exploratory voyages of Captain Cook, the first of which commenced 250 years ago in 1768, and they went on to entrance Gauguin and a host of other European artists.

 

This volume accompanies a major survey in London and Paris of art from Oceania. It brings together the most up-to-date scholarship by the leading experts in the field, encompassing a dazzling array of objects from the region, including many that have never been published before. Also included are many works that have historically been overlooked, such as painted and woven textiles, elaborate wicker assemblages and expressively sculpted vessels, alongside works by artists working in Oceania today. Objects of great aesthetic beauty, these artworks are the product of a complex web of social, mythological and historical influences.
